". FURTHER PROC EEDI N GS. Mr. Churchill, as the ' Senior Middlesex Magi strate, was in the chair, and Mr. Aris,, senior, his four sons, and the whole of the servants of the prison, were closely examined. It turned out, as was stated yesterday, that the' two prisoners were not supposed to know each other, and-that the whole Of the gateS, leading from the confinement of Roberts, six in number, were found open in the, morning, they having been made fast at locking up time, on the preceding night. The prisoners then made their escape over the wall, by ascending a new lodge in the prison, not yet finished, and when at the top of the wall they were supposed -to have let themselves down by a rope; as a hook was found in the - Morning' by' Daniel Aris, the jailor's son. The most:important witness was a youth of the name of Macar or M'Gar, who stated so/besot-1)w -sation which he had overheard betwixt Daniel Avis and Rnbert'llobeits. This youth was 'an evidence against a party of burglars, and hii testimony rela tive to this affair,. with othereirbninstancei of corro botation tending ~to implicate D. Arts with having beep privy to' the escape of the _prisoners, joiloced the Magistrate tn - coMniit him to New Prison for trial, for aiding and abetting itt such escapre. It turned out , that Roberts tad been indulged with walking in. the garden of the prison, after he had been locked up in the evening, as usual, at the same time asthe other prisoners. Neither of the watchmen could give any satisfaaory account ci the business. ‘. Tne investigatiOn closed with the suspending of the gaol-keeper, the committal of of Aria, his son, and the dismissal of another Aris's sons, who was a.tuinkPy.. • • Mr. NeWpi•rt, from. New Prison, Cl!rkenwol, is appointed successor to Aris,' at the . oldbatii.- fields Prison. The yo nth who gave:evidence against Daniel Aris was eornmilted to Totbill-fields acid to be kept private. No clue haslet been had of Roberts or Harper. . . The evidence against 'Roberts, relative to' the for gerSr upon the .Banlc, was.quite- conclusive, and a woman 11.. cohabited with wa, admitted an evidence in the business.

The Court after maturely weighing, and consi dering.what appeared in evidence before it, toge. titer with what the prisoner alleged in his defence, was of opinion that the prisoner, Capt.

In consequence of a mistake having been made in, the payment, she returned to have .it put right,. when some words ensued, and the defendant .used . language too grkss even for a•gin- , ,hop in Deptford.

The assault, according to.t heir tesiintony, was un provoked ; but on their cross-examination they ad mitted that Mrs. Edgerton had sa;d the defendant's daughter was pregnant, 'notwithstanding her hus band had been at ,sea during the last six years. She alSo accused the daughter of. having pawned h6r cloiheS, to see a doctor . to destroy the child, and ether words of a similar tendency., thg4 refined...end elegant compliments - Paiia rite plain tiff and a female friend recruit-ed. their spirits With a few glass:-snf gin ; and , te ar i n g th e y might want a staphly,..they" toot care to have quantum sudicit in • . •.. a bottle., • • • _, Mr..

The plaintiff said the defenda„t's d - mghter hid- pawned her clothes, to give three guineas to a door to destroy the child, Tile charge.is of a serious nature, and if any medi cal than is wicked enough io-do such a deed, - he is answerable. The other assertion was, that th e ' Was with child, and her husband had been, away six years. If the defendant resented ,these welds, it was not without :'provocation ; .but this cannot justify a . blow. The law trill not warrant a blow ;. it is a breach of • the peace, and, no words • will justify it ; therefore, if .yon believe what the witnesses have said, there must he i'•iterdi4t, fur the, plaintiff; You will consider what damages the plaintiff is .entitled to, and weigh in your mind that Mrs Edgerton imputed' a' crime to the defendant's daughter little less than murder."

It is remarkable, that the day of the night during which he perpe:.: trated the fatal . deed,',the Chaplain of the pri.on waited on him, and finding him . very much agi tated, told him -he would visit . him tot:izorrow -- The unhappy man repeated the words." to-morrow," several times, and he said once emphatically— " Alt ! to-morrow."
